“He got here this past weekend and began training with us on Saturday. He’s very talented, he’s got quick hands and hits very hard,” said chief trainer Robert Garcia. “He sparred with Brandon Rios on Monday so he’s going to be helping out Brandon prepare for his upcoming fight with Acosta. I’m glad he’s here with us, we’re happy to have him here in Oxnard,” continued Garcia.

In his last outing, Contreras defeated Eric Cruz (7-6-3, 7 KOs) of Puerto Rico via unanimous decision in July of last year at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA.
